Charisma
W.A.S.P. · Unholy Terror [2001]
With the lies I breathe
No man's ever ruled the world
Not knowing the curse of me
I'm some of the seven sins
Vanity in the lust of men
I'm the Alpha-Omega man
I'll show you who I am
Hypnotic charm, mesmerizing face
My soul has a dark embrace
A magic tongue, I'll seduce you all
Till I'm your king
till ya know my....
Charisma - Do you know my name?
I'm the God that you pray
When you worship my name
Charisma - are you idolizing me?
I'm a dangerous thing
And your new messiah's me
I'm a liar blinding your vision
Vatican Man
Preaching fear and using religion
With the bible and Koran
I wrap myself in the American Flag
And tell people I'm for which it stands
I'm coming back till you know I'm God
Till you believe, till you know my...
Charisma - Do you know my name?
I'm the God that you pray
When you worship my name
Charisma - are you idolizing me?
I'm a dangerous thing
And your new messiah's me
I'm a fear from a shadow land
I seduce you all
Here I come new messiah man
To bow to me, make me your God
I got them all marching to the rhythm
Believing me, oh yeah, new religion
I'm a racist with a waving flag
Of domination with a fascist plan
I'm gonna be the new world leader
I got a lot of 9 millimeter baby eaters
I'm coming back til you know I'm God
Till you belive, till you know I'm...
Charisma - Do you know my name?
I'm the God that you pray
When you worship my name
Charisma - are you idolizing me?
I'm a dangerous thing
And your new messiah's me
Charisma - Do you know my name?
I'm the God that you pray
When you worship my name
Charisma - are you idolizing me?
I'm a dangerous thing
And your new messiah's me
Charisma.
Charisma.
Charisma.
Charisma.
